Tell us something interesting about the collection that we won’t learn during the presentation.

“It always winds up that a sketch we really don’t love, turns out to be one of the best pieces of the season. It has become a ritual that if Maxwell and I both hate a sketch, we make sure to push it through sampling because we know it will somehow turn out to be a winner. That’s what happened with our wool bomber for A/W 13 [in picture one.]

We didn’t like it because it didn’t feel like a Public School piece. That’s usually why we don’t like something, if it’s a stretch for us or something that doesn’t inherently feel like the Public School DNA. We always want to be true to our aesthetic which is very downtown New York.”
